Yay. Today is a great day. I'm done with exams for this week and it's the start of my 5-day weekend tomorrow. Guess what? It's Thursday! I'm just left with Music to chant. There's really nothing much to chant for Physics, Accident or Emergency Math paper 1. I nearly died during E Math paper 2 yesterday. I didn't know how to do some parts of questions and it felt like the whole paper was doomed. It's the feeling you get when you finish the exam and walk out knowing you're not going to get the A1, and most of the time, I sense that accurately. On the other hand, today's A Math was good. I thought it was much better than E Math. But it means that paper 1 might be harder. Sigh..

The school started putting hand sanitizers for people after doing their biometric attendance thing probably because they're scared of sine flu. After disinfecting my hands with a portion of it, they felt really funny. Sticky and disgusting. This caused me to become a bit curious about hand sanitizers. Hand sanitizers supposedly kill germs and bacteria. What makes it special from soap is the fact that you don't have to wash it off to become clean. But then, where do all the dead bacteria and germs go? Surely they have to go somewhere after they're killed right? They couldn't have vapourised into thin air (like jy..), neither could they have just seeped into the skin. And no, they didn't go to heaven. After a lot of thinking, I concluded that the slimy effect of hand sanitisers is actually caused by dead germs. Dead germs/bacteria feel slimy and gross. After coming to that conclusion, I couldn't stand the thought of it and only dared to pick up my things with as little contact area as possible. After a while, I gave up and resorted to washing my hands.

Another sine flu precaution: sterilising desks. Today, my column was in charge of disinfecting the desks in class. I felt like I was some waitress cleaning the tables. But it was quite fun and interesting. This flu thing is bad in some ways, but it makes life more interesting because of all the precautions people take. Sine flu E learning day will be the ultimate fun. How many students get to go through this in their lifetime? After all the hand sanitising and disinfecting of classes, I think the school will smell like a hospital by next week.

Aspire to inspire before you expire (and retire). A quote from Jolene and Grace, or rather J's father. It's funny but it makes a lot of sense. I would like to inspire others, but I don't know how to. Well, if inspiring others in negative ways counts, then maybe I have been inspiring. But anyway, something that amused me:

Jolene: So senior are u going to live by tis motto?

L: I don't know. Maybe. My current one is my pm. It's been there since sec 1. If you ask other seniors, they'll tell you how bored they are of it

J: Pm means prime minister?

L: HAHA.. etc etc (pm is personal message, the one you see on msn)

J: i KNEW that

Hahaha.. that was quite hilarious. Sorry Jolene..

Today I studied with awesome multi tasking skills. My ears were connected to earphones and I played all the music that was frequently trying gain forced entry into my head. I realised it made life better. For example A-Roving (the syf piece) keeps running in my head and it's been like that for goodness knows how long. So I decided to just give my brain what it wanted and I was able to concentrate more on studying at the same time. This prevented my mind from wandering and my fingers from trying to drum out the fingering. Oh and to add on to the difficulty level, smsing.
